This isn't just a tension between Kendi and DiAngelo; it's also a tension within Critical Race Theory, the academic movement of which both figures are descendants. As I explain here, DiAngeloism arose in response to the problems associated with Kendism: https://freebeacon.com/culture/how-critical-race-theory-led-to-kendi/ … https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1417187983992700932 …
My reading is that it stems from a disappointment with the Civil Rights Act and the War on Poverty, which established equal rights and created a system for structural direct assistance, but failed to yield the predicted results.
It does. There are some really fascinating parallels between the original critical race theorists and the early neoconservatives, which, one of these days, I may write an essay on. (E.g. the early neocons were critics of busing, and so was Derrick Bell.)
I can't take credit for the busing parallel: @ElliotKaufman6 pointed it out to me.
Smart gloss. A possible unintended consequence of the Civil Rights Movement’s rhetoric which tended to rely on biblical language of a “promised land” etc. was that once the movement succeeded its members were doomed to discover rights aren’t outcomes.
Immanentized eschatologies end in disappointment and set the stage for a more radical stage of ideological immanentizing among the next generation.
